WEIGHT LOSS can be a struggle, and now one knows that better than Rosemary Shrager who has opened up about her public struggle with her weight. She has revealed her diet tip secret. Tonight the Two Fat Ladies chef appears on diabetes programme The Fast Fix on ITV.

"I've lost three dress sizes and I feel a lot better in myself – my skin is clearer, my arthritis has eased, everything is better."

By snacking on prunes Rosemary claims to have drastically improved her weight and health.

The University of Liverpool published research showing that prunes can help with weight loss, as they are high in fibre.

Liverpool psychologist, Dr Jo Harrold who led the research, said: “These are the first data to demonstrate both weight loss and no negative side effects when consuming prunes as part of a weight management diet.

“Indeed in the long term they may be beneficial to dieters by tackling hunger and satisfying appetite; a major challenge when you are trying to maintain weight loss.”

Another weight loss diet plan has revealed that eating a certain amount of fat can help you shed the pounds.

Researchers claims that those looking to lose weight need to ensure they reduce their fat intake.

An article published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise recommended making sure less than a third of your diet is fat.

Scientists wrote: “It appears that reducing dietary fat intake to less than 30 per cent of total energy intake may facilitate weight loss by reducing total energy intake.”

Dietary fats are found in obvious fatty products such as oil, cheese, milk and yoghurt.
